Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

Load up Doom 3 in XP and then in Vista and use a application to monitor CPU outputs, nuf said. XP has been modified to use Dual Core but it dosnt do it to the full potential. The Windows Server 2003 core (vista) has always had dualcore from the get go. Hence most people have better framerates in games after moving to Vista (providing they're not using Cheep DDR RAM)

Doom3 isn't even a multithreaded application. What a weak argument.

Man 10.5 is so damned awesome and so much faster and responsive on my 2.4 MBP than Tiger ever was. I love all the new features cept the new dock will have to grow on me a bit. If you haven't ordered this damned OS get it now before the gremlins slap you.

Dirty lies!

haha amazing! :D woot!

i quoted the picture too to point out something that i didnt notice yet...

its amazing how that window looks with that blurry transparency there. just so great.

is it just in preview or does every window has such a slight transparency?

.......just sucks that i still have to wait. didnt realize that its THE day tomorrow and for some even today...

im gonna have to wait for mid november... :( awwwww...

Looks like smcfancontrol 1.1 does not work in leopard.

My fan speeds read something like -1111111 and the temperatures do not show up. Is there another program out there where I can monitor this stuff?

There is a version 2.1.2 of smcfancontrol (I think thats the version number). And it definately works with Leopard (I have it on my MBP SR).

Whats the point of Apple putting the Upgrade choice in the installer if everyone says just to do a Clean install?

What is so bad about doing an upgrade. On all the documents about doing an upgrade Apple say they keep the user stuff and the Operating System separate to make upgrading the OS easy without performance or other issues.

Where did this "Upgrades are bad" stigma come from, does anyone know?

Does Leopard make our "books" run an hotter than Tiger 10.4.10?

Most are saying it runs cooler now. Probably because before a lot of apps were single threaded and took a while for one core to do but now that both cores can do it in much less time it probably makes a lot less heat that way.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
